Yup, any time one hears a *clicking noise* in and around a dog, one wants to check quickly. Things retrieved around here in the past have included pens and pencils, a plastic 7 day pill container complete with pills, and my husband's partial plate (teeth).

I'm thinking that Maggie has survived the ingestion of the plastic fork. But one can't be too careful. When we got Tucker, he still had the scar from his having to have surgery for a blockage consisting of candy wrappers and dental floss and his former folks were still paying off his huge vet bill. Probably one of the reasons he was headed back to the shelter if we hadn't decided to adopt him.
